About Karen Tucker

We moved to Spain 20 years ago with our 2 boys then aged 8yrs and 10yrs. We have loved everyday we have been here, the boys have had a wonderful life and speak Spanish fluently and we have never looked back! We have made many friends and love the outdoor life.

Why Karen Tucker chose Busot

We bought the villa in 1997 and loved it straight away. Over the years we have updated nearly everything but kept the rustic charm. There are beautiful walks up the mountain that overlooks Busot, it is called the Cabeco D'Or which means the mountain of gold.Situated in the southern part of the mountain are The Cueva de Canelobre (Candelabra Cave) is a magnificent cave that dates back thousands of years. The beautiful blue flag sandy beaches of El Campello and San Juan are only a 10 minute drive away and there you can find many restaurants, bars and shops. The villa has a large covered terrace, great for Al Fresco dining and when we sit outside in the evenings watching the beautiful sunsets, we still pinch ourselves and think how lucky we are to be here!

Fantastic property

We were a family of 11; 6 adults, 5 children (aged 4-11). The house was easily as good as the pictures and description, and perfect for our holiday.

The layout of the house worked really well and it had everything you could want - the kitchen is well equipped, and the fridge was stocked with a thoughtful selection of food and drinks when we arrived. All the bedrooms have air conditioning, but we hardly used it.

The location is a little out of the way (a car is pretty much essential), but is quiet. It's 10km down to the town of El Campello, which has plenty of supermarkets, shops, and restaurants (especially along the waterfront). The beach at El Campello is lovely and not too crowded, especially in the mornings. The caves at Busot (around 5km up the hill) weree well worth a visit.

The pool was clean and warm, and deep - I estimated the deep end to be around 2.5m. When we weren't in the pool we spent most of our time on the fantastic terrace, where we also ate all our meals.

Karen and Nick made us feel welcome and looked after, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property.

Beautiful and spacious villa with everything you could wish for

We stayed in early July, 2 families of 4 adults and 6 children. The villa was clean, spacious with everything you could ever need for a family holiday. Karen and Nick were on hand to greet us with a lovely welcome pack awaiting us along with some fresh bread and ham - quite delicious! The villa is a short drive to some wonderful beaches, a very large supermarket and 20 minutes from Alicante. Karen and Nick were very helpful when we asked them about various excursions which we found very useful. The pool was perfect, clean and just the right temperature for us all to have fun in. The terrace was ideal for an evening of food, cards and a glass of wine with plenty of room for us all to sit together. There is a bar within walking distance from the villa which was pleasant with the staff very helpful and places for children to play. The villa was all we could have hoped for and more and comes thoroughly recommended.

Lovely Villa With Every Feature and Facility

We stayed in this villa for two weeks. We are two families of four with teenage children and could not have been happier with our choice of accommodation or location.

The villa is spacious, homely and easy to live in. The rooms are good sizes and the beds are comfortable. The pool is also a good size, long and deep enough to swim in with nice loungers around it. Wifi was good, so was English satellite TV (freesat), especially so whilst the Olympics were on! The tennis court is a great extra. In short the villa is just as good as described, but there are several additional touches that are worth a mention:

- Two large fridge freezers mean that all shopping, drinks, lollies etc can easily be stored.

- The large washing machine and outdoor drying area is very handy.

- The welcome pack of a few essentials (and some luxuries) as well as the medicine cabinet stocked with such as paracetamol showed a kindness and awareness of possible other needs.

- The shaded veranda that overlooks the pool is a lovely space, to chill, eat, play cards, watch the pool etc. It's worth a mention of its own.

- All cupboards (including the bookshelf) have the same sorts of things and range that you want/need at home. The abundance of beach towels demonstrates nicely how guests are well considered.

- Karen and Nic are nearby, friendly and available if necessary.

A bit about the area, because we have never been to this region before and booked the holiday around available flights to Alicante. The urbanisation (Hoya del los Patos) is in the foothills about 6 miles from the coast. A car is needed but the roads are good. There is one bar locally (good, friendly, cheap) but shops are a short drive. El Campello, 10 minutes away, is a very nice coastal resort with mostly Spanish tourists. It is quite understated with a lovely beach and very pleasant seafront strip with many bars, restaurants and ice cream parlours; many afternoons spent here. Another lovely beach is Muchavista, a little closer to Alicante. Alicante itself is nice and about 20 minutes away from the villa. Benidorm is about 45 minutes up the coast and far removed from El Campello as a holiday experience (although worth a visit and for the water park). The village of Busot, just up the road from the Villa is a pleasant surprise, with nice restaurants.

We felt that we had chosen a great combination. A super villa where many hours could easily be wiled away, but close to a really good part of the coast. Thank you Karen and Nic

Spoiled holiday

A deeply unpleasant experience. We were not welcomed and felt unwelcome, although they were very happy to take the very high fee we paid. Owners spied on our party so we were unable to relax. At 10am on the day of departure, without warning, they banged on the front door, shouting at us to 'get out of their property' until we showed them the departure time was 11am. No justification in speaking to anyone in that way. Appalling. Also, in an effort, we assume, to retain our deposit, they claimed we hadn't cleaned up. In fact we spent 3 hours doing so and luckily, took photos. Horrible. We have never experienced any holiday let as unprofessional and unnecessarily hostile.
